Senator Malcolm Roberts you, and many of us with no real public profile, are obviously in very good company as “conspiracy theorists”. Wear it as a badge of honour. Keep up your good work Sir.

No way Mal relying on meme sent in without looking into its context? 🥴 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Good thing I did my own research and trusted my discernment rather than their $cience

Most of these quotes aren't recent. They're from way before 2020.

You don't need a PhD to have figured that out. Logic and common sense told many of us that a long time ago.

Hope this helps.... Context: These editors were criticizing systemic problems — industry funding bias, poor study design, publication bias, conflicts of interest — in the broader medical research ecosystem, not confessing that their own specific journals as institutions were "corrupt" in a narrower sense (e.g., fraud by the journal itself). The meme's framing ("testified to the corruption of NEJM," etc.) conflates "criticized systemic corruption affecting published research broadly" with "confessed my journal specifically was corrupt." These are also genuinely two decades-plus old in some cases (Relman/Angell date to the 1980s–2000s), used to imply an ongoing, current indictment rather than commentary tied to a specific era and specific practices (much of which prompted reforms like clinical trial registries, COI disclosure rules, etc. that followed). So: real quotes, real people, but "testified" is inaccurate framing, and the implication that top editors declared their own journals fundamentally corrupt (rather than criticizing broader systemic bias in published research) oversimplifies what they actually said.

Not surprised, but still very disturbing.

And give the money back they made and compensation to those they harmed. There should be an investigation of their conflicts because if not conflicted their competence should be assessed.

Bill Gates purchased the Cochrane database in 2019. Someone put his thumb on the scale.

Of course they will be and they will try and silence them aswell

How did Kelly and Skerritt fail to see the obvious?

Like the peer reviewed studies saying COVID vaccinations caused thousands of deaths, can't find that one

What are they talking about? What context? Whose accusing them of being ‘conspiracy theorists’ grandad?

Holy selective quoting Batman 🤣

Unfortunately you’re preaching to the believers… Those that don’t believe will go on and get another booster whilst believing whatever is printed on the pharmaceutical packaging…

Anytime someone asks me if a claim I have made has bern "peer reviewed". I tell them to bugger off.

Well we all knew it but.whistleblowers confirm the theory!

Those quotes are of course, quite dated, and the strength of the medical literature is that it criticises itself. This is why "pre-registration" of trials, for example, must occur, and conflicts of interest declared. Compare that attitude to cookers, who no matter how many times their lies are exposed, just continue to repeat them.

Oh dear Mal, youve done it again. Do try harder and do some proper research yourself for a change. Youv'e taken real quotes from journal editors and severely twists their meaning. While the quotes are real, the claim that editors are admitting science is "fraudulent" or that journals "cannot be trusted" is false. 1. Context: It’s About Corporate Bias, Not Fake Science Editors like Marcia Angell (NEJM) and Richard Horton (The Lancet) were calling out pharmaceutical company influence—specifically how drugmakers design trials to favor their own products or withhold negative results. They were demanding higher standards, not declaring medical research a total fraud. 2. Self-Correction Is How Science Works These quotes aren't "leaked confessions"—they are essays published by the editors themselves in their own journals. Highlighting flaws and pushing for better statistical rigor is evidence of a self-correcting system, not a hidden conspiracy. 3. The Quotes Are Decades Old and Led to Real Reforms Most of these statements are from 2004–2015. These exact critiques led to major fixes over the last 20 years, including mandatory public clinical trial registries (so negative results can't be hidden) and strict conflict-of-interest disclosures. Bottom line: Taking decades-old calls for higher scientific standards and twisting them into "proof" that medical journals are entirely fake is classic out-of-context misdirection.

Insanity - I remember reading where a researcher/contributor to the journals said it was easy to see when you knew what you were doing to see the Corrupted articles. Goes to show how many have been “ bought “ with $$$ in the pursuit of “Science”.
